times." the story doesn't mention specific guidelines about this move but experts say the fact that these guidelines exist doesn't necessarily mean the oakland as will move because because technically the san francisco giants have territorial rights in santa clara county. but if the as can fulfill the concerns of the m l about. the commissioner could allow the club owners to decide. the as would need 75% of the club to rescind the territorial rights. the rights the giants won't necessarily give up that easily. >> that will be the last resort. i'm sure they are going to fight this tooth and nail as hard as they can until the other owners basically somehow coerce them into deciding that this might have to be the compromise. but right now, they have the territorial rights that were given to them by the as when the giants actually were struggling well over 20 years ago. >> reporter: the giants could stop the move buy lining up 7 clubs to vote with them. these guidelines would be the first significant move from the baseball commissioner's office

since the committee was set up to explore the issue a few years ago. this is a battle we could see play out for another few years. it's unlikely the as could move to san jose before 2018. so far the giants and as are not commenting. cate caugiran, kpix 5. it may be an olympic honor for two bay area cities but san jose city leaders say they have no interest in competing against san francisco to host the 2024 summer olympics. still if either decides to bid here's what it takes to win. first, a budget of at least $3 billion. other requirements, housing for 16, 500 athletes, 45,000 hotel rooms for visitors, and a workforce equal to half the population of oakland. san francisco is struggling with a funding fallout for america's cup. fundraising has fallen short. the city did raise $14 million but needs another $30 million. so far, only 3 boats have

committed to the race. a smaller event would mean a lot less revenue for the city. no decision on bail for the south african olympian charged with murder. today's hearing for oscar pistorius ended with no decision from the judge on the bail request. officers charged pistorius in the shooting death of his girlfriend on valentine's day. now his lawyers say the lead detective in the investigation should be replaced. that's after new details show he faces attempted murder charges in an unrelated shooting. pistorius is expected back in a courtroom tomorrow. >> two men charged with an attack on san francisco giants fan are expected back in court today. louis sanchez and marvin norwood are accused of beating bryan stow outside dodger stadium two years ago. sanchez is expected to ask for more time to prepare the case since he is now representing himself. stoas permanently disabled gay the by the attack. dozens of homeless people

say they are going to have to clear out. san jose officials will clear a tent city that sprung up on land south of mineta international airport. anne makovec smack in san jose this morning and the camp is just getting plenty of complaints. >> reporter: yes, but for people living here this is seen as a relatively nice shantytown here along spring street. you can see some of its residents starting to wake up this morning at 6:30 a.m. police are planning to raid this encampment as soon as march four. people flying over it have complained. there are about 100 people living in approximately 40 tents. plenty of them arrived last month after a nearby encampment was shut down. neighbors say this is dangerous and unsanitary. you move them and they pop up in another spot.

frustrating? >> it's frustrating but it's part of the process. >> we have to be consistent on how we work with people. if we at any to work everyone at the city believes we'll have long-term positive results. leadsers are concerned if they would allow the camp to stay it could invite people from outside the area to move in here, as well. this clean-up though will cost the city about $40,000. and in the meantime, homeless advocates are coming here to talk to some of these people about alternate places that they could live. right now live in san jose, anne makovec, kpix 5. lawrence would call the weather coming up boring. we would call it nice. >> there's always something interesting about the weather. today it's going to be breezy without rain and snow that we had the other day. that was fighting. around the bay area quiet start to the morning, not as cold as yesterday morning. partly cloudy skies out there over the bay, looking good. we are working on a nice afternoon. see a couple of ripples on the

it's crowded before you get to the metering lights. elsewhere, let's go to 880. this is a live look near hegenberger and the oakland coliseum. no delay northbound or southbound 880 between hayward and the macarthur maze. let's go to our maps. we are also watching this news now on highway 50. apparently snow is falling. and there are new chain requirements now on highway 50 between twin bridges all the way to meyers. so far there are no chain requirements on interstate 80. we'll let you know if that changes. in the meantime, back to you guys. santa cruz couple fought off two robbers who invaded their home and it happened around 4:30 yesterday morning on poplar avenue. yarry gonzalez says he and his wife and two daughters were awakened by intruders. he says the robbers seemed incompetent giving him and his wife the courage to fight break. >> she picks up one of our heating bags here and she chucks it at the back of weasel's head. the smaller guy who is wielding at this point a dual wielding a decorative sword from my wall

natural gas line. new clues into what may have set off that sandy hook killer. a frontline investigation says adam lanza was diagnosed with sensory processing disorder at the age of 6. people who have it may overrespond to stimuli and find clothing, physical contact or sound unbearable. lanza didn't recognize pain, he couldn't cope with loud noise, and confusion or change would cause him to shut down. vice president joe biden will speak in danbury, connecticut a few miles from newtown, the scene of the school shooting. the conference is to promote the obama administration's gun control proposals. among those who plan to be in attendance, the parents of one of the children killed in the shooting at sandy hook elementary. time now 6:40. a little too crunchy. why kellogg's is recalling a popular cereal. >> plus it was not the romantic valentine's day they had planned. how a local couple ended up at a police station with $11,000 in cash. we'll explain. >> and the market just opened

the midwest bracing for a big one they are calling it in nebraska, kansas and missouri. first this is arizona, believe it or not where the wgc match play championship was delayed due to weather. a golf tournament. this is unheard of. some areas are picking up 9 to 12 inches. governor brown back has closed the state government and is urging residents to stay off the streets. >> you could get up to 20" of snow on the i-70 corridor and that just really makes traveling very, very hazardous. just wisest just don't go. >> however, many in the area are welcoming the snow especially the farmers since the midwest has been in the middle of severe drought. >> looks like a mess. >> helps with the drought. we were a little dry for a while and then we had some moisture. >> we had some and now it's all gone again. it is back to dry again here in the bay area. rainfall amounts running about 80% of normal now so yeah, we

have seen quite a beginning to the season but now things have started to taper off. outside now, it is a quiet beginning to the day. we have some partly cloudy skies. it looks like a nice day ahead. it will be a dry one. it's going to be breezy as you approach the coastline. plenty of afternoon sunshine. and then looks like dry weather will continue in place not only for today but probably right into the weekend, as well. the ridge of high pressure is lifting the jet stream far enough north to keep us dry. snow in the tahoe area. this morning seeing some of that. but not here. it's going to stay cooler than average. temperatures a few degrees below average by this afternoon. no delays at sfo just a few clouds moving on by. across the country a different story. thunderstorms in houston could cause problems. snow in denver and more of the snow into the chicago area. 41 and partly cloudy in new york. around the bay temperatures in the 50s and 60s, usually the
